Game Thread: Illinois at Rutgers

[Coop70]

Incapable of 3 good decisions/plays in a row. The ole backing up 2 step.

 

[Fighting I 95]

For every good play we make, we make 2 bad ones. Thats not not a winning formula.

What was Morez thinking on that drive, just barreled that guy over?

TRE WHITE IS SICK FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW

For those just joining the thread ... This is the second time with the "flu" in a week and a half ...

It’s pretty crazy how bad we’ve gotten from 3. If we could sniff 30% over the last few weeks we’d be top 10 lol

It’s an even more bizarre exaggeration of 2023 in that I FEEL like practically every individual player is a theoretically decent three point shooter!! And yet, we suck at them.

 

[OrangeKrush1981]

Maybe our coaching staff could solve this frequently-occuring challenge.

Payback charge call

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

Second time with the "flu" in a week and a half ...

He honestly looks pretty “positive” on the sidelines, FWIW.

 

[1970 John]

We’re winning!

We aren’t winning until it’s over. Until then you may be ahead…

Alright... Martini is no where close to set on that "charge" and are we just gonna ignore the excessive handchecks from Derkack on Riley at the top of the key??? 2 rather large missed calls on that last offensive possession.

Anderson can’t set enough screens himself to win Rutgers the game, gotta blow a few calls too.

Theyve been reaching and being handsy all game and theyve called maybe 2.

What we have is a team full of shooters...but not makers with any consistency. If they play hard and focused, they can find a way. If not, you get games like this.

 

[jumpingjack]

And we give them the damn advantage by giving them an easy three.

Morez should never be that far from the basket.

Either rolling to the blocks or sitting in the dunker spot, but never 15 feet from the basket.

 

[RabidDawgClassic]

Would love to see Ivisic return to the bench. The longer he’s out the more I’m concerned.

 

[AnnaMay]

We dodged a bullet there

It looked bad, but Morez had the right of way. Rutgers dude probably has never yielded when getting on the interstate either.

I'm hoping KJ is using his enforced Pine Time to undergo a cranial rectalotomy, then come back, finish strong like we know he is capable of, and help us get out of the RAC with a win. Dreams could come true.

Tomi is set to return in the game.

Clearly he's refusing Fletch's DGL blood infusion treatment.

 

[IndyOrange]

Tomi is set to return in the game.

Nice!

 

[zentrails]

Tomi is set to return in the game.

Great news

 

[Battle89]

Terrible charge call.

Was bound to happen after the no call during the timeout. First time he had the ball.

Not good

Right. Called by high knees on the opposite baseline, totally blocked from the play while the ref on the ball side is looking right at it. Terrible B10 officiating knows no limits.

It was 10 days b4 I was feeling ok with Flu S. Maybe he gotten OSU out?
